Evening gents. First post on here.
I've got back into fishing following a 5 year break having moved out to Molesey earlier this year. As a result I've spent a good few months exploring the swims in and around Hampton Court, in fact I've just packed the car up for an early morning session tomorrow.
So far this year I've been going for anything, I'd rather sit there and catch all day than go and hunt one specific type and only get a bite. The swims in the Hurst Park area (near the ferry) are very good for Bream and Roach on the ledger, I've had some big slabs of Bream out this year. Lots of families go down and feed the ducks so the fish are used to coming into the slacks. You see plenty of guys down there with the full carp rigs and overnight gear, haven't caught one myself but apparently there are plenty of 20lb plus specimens in there that have escaped into the river via floods over the year.
Fished on the bank of cigarette islands with mixed success in the summer. To be honest on the days I did there was a lot of boat traffic which didn't help. Will give that another go soon.
Walton Marina is similar to Hurst Park. Big slack area with plenty of Bream, Roach & Perch, all to decent sizes.
I've tried pole, float and ledger. Tend to have the most success on a simpe cage groundbait rig fishing double maggot. Although recently I've been trying pellets on the PVA with reasonable success.
Has anyone on here fished the Mole?
